Most of the time with Harbor Frieght, thats true, but I have this stand and its not only well made, looks great. I love it, its light and has strong rollerblade-type wheels.

This is the other HF stand that looks just like the one posted above, and its the one I was referring to. Its hard to spot the difference... well except the price. Actually if you ask me, this looks much better made than the BIKE LIFT one. Note the vertical support arms, dual wheels, and adjustment so it can be used on more than one bike.

Posting the one from the first post above for reference:
BTW, I think the latest MotorCyclist had a coupon for stands or something at HF, I cant really remember. Might want to check that out if you have a copy.
